Walking down the streets in the hot weather that Israel calls its winter I was surprised to walk by this shop selling Christmas trees, decorations and ornaments... In Jerusalem and Bethlehem people were so focused on Jesus and His life and prophecies and although there were were many Christian crosses, nativity scenes, and a host of other memorbelia for sale I did not see signs of Santa or Christmas trees there... To see this store in Haifa reminded me a little of what it must be like back home with everyone preparing for Christmas.
Santa or Osama in a clever disguise???
ReplyDeleteTahirih told her teacher the other day that she didn't celebrate Christmas... but that she did get gifts and sometimes gave them. Haha. Now the teacher wants me to give a presentation (in French to her kindergarten class) about the Baha'i Faith.
